West Jakarta Health Agency Invites Residents to Utilize Free Health Checks for Early Disease Detection

The West Jakarta Health Sub-agency is actively promoting its free health check-up program, urging all residents, including civil servants and contract workers, to take advantage of the initiative for early disease detection. The program aims to provide comprehensive health screenings to the community. Sahruna, head of the West Jakarta Health Sub-agency, emphasized that the free check-ups are accessible to everyone. Screenings are conducted through questionnaires and consultations with healthcare professionals. The available checks cover a wide range of health aspects, including physical activity levels, tuberculosis screening, mental health assessments, liver function tests, cancer risk factors, nutritional status, hypertension, and diabetes. In addition to these, the program also offers examinations for eye health, ear health, dental issues, skin diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cervical cancer, and lung cancer. A recent event held at the Kembangan Utara Village Hall saw 92 participants, comprising civil servants, PKK cadres, and contract workers. During this event, 20 participants underwent IVA tests, and 55 were screened for sputum. Sahruna stated that as of July 6, 2026, approximately 593,654 residents, or 23.14% of West Jakarta's population, had utilized the free health check-up services. The agency has set a target to increase this figure to 46% of the population, equating to about 1,180,124 people, by the end of 2026. The local village head, Pepen, encouraged those who have not yet participated to seize the opportunity, highlighting that good health is fundamental for serving the community and that regular check-ups are essential, even without existing complaints.
